Hello, I have a heinz kilfit 90mm 2.8 macro lens lying around with a 39mm screw mount. I can't seem to find any information about the flange focal distance. I'm 99% sure it is longer than the 28.80mm for m39 though. I just got a Zorki 1, is there a way to calculate what distances I can get in focus when using the lens on a m39 body?

Most of the Kilfitt lenses use an adapter for whatever specific camera you have. The adapters can be quite expensive as not many were made back in the day (50's-60's-70's). Most Kilfitt lenses were made for SLR cameras but could be used with LTM Leica type with the use of the reflex viewer. You should study up on Kilfitt as it is a rather interesting period in lens development of the time.
